Test run failed: Instrumentation run failed due to 'Process crashed.' when testing multiple Android activity

I've got an issue with testing my android application.
I have 2 testCase class, if I execute them separately, there is no problem, the tests run until the end. But if I do "right-click" on my test project and choose "Run as Android Junit Test" I've got a message

 Launching instrumentation android.test.InstrumentationTestRunner on device emulator-5554
 [2012-03-27 15:56:27 - matroussedemaquillageTest] Collecting test information
 [2012-03-27 15:56:31 - matroussedemaquillageTest] Test run failed: Instrumentation run  failed due to 'Process crashed.'

see bellow for my two testClasses:

the first test class

package fr.smardine.matroussedemaquillage.test;

import android.test.ActivityInstrumentationTestCase2;
import android.widget.ImageSwitcher;
import fr.smardine.matroussedemaquillage.EntryPoint;

public class EntryPointTest extends
    ActivityInstrumentationTestCase2<EntryPoint> {

private EntryPoint mActivity;
    private ImageSwitcher mSwitcher;

    public EntryPointTest() {
        super("fr.smardine.matroussedemaquillage",
                fr.smardine.matroussedemaquillage.EntryPoint.class);
    }

    @Override
    protected void setUp() throws Exception {
        super.setUp();
    }

    @Override
    protected void tearDown() throws Exception {
        super.tearDown();
    }

    public void test2() {
        assertEquals(2, 2);
    }
}

and the second:

package fr.smardine.matroussedemaquillage.test;

import android.test.ActivityInstrumentationTestCase2;
import android.widget.ImageView;
import fr.smardine.matroussedemaquillage.Main;

public class MainTest extends ActivityInstrumentationTestCase2<Main> {

    private Main mActivity;
    private ImageView btRemplir;
    private ImageView btPerime;
    private ImageView btNotes;

    public MainTest() {
        super("fr.smardine.matroussedemaquillage",
                fr.smardine.matroussedemaquillage.Main.class);
    }

    @Override
    protected void setUp() throws Exception {
        super.setUp();
    }

    @Override
    protected void tearDown() throws Exception {
        super.tearDown();
    }


    public void test1() {
        assertEquals(1, 1);
    }
}

As you can see my test are not so complicated, even if i "wipe user data" when I launch my emulator, there is the same message if I execute the two tests.
Oh, by the way, the emulator run under android 2.1 and this is my AndroidManifest.xml file:

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<manifest xmlns:android="http://schemas.android.com/apk/res/android"
package="fr.smardine.matroussedemaquillage.test"
android:versionCode="1"
android:versionName="1.0" >

<uses-sdk android:minSdkVersion="7" android:targetSdkVersion="7" />

<instrumentation
    android:name="android.test.InstrumentationTestRunner"
    android:targetPackage="fr.smardine.matroussedemaquillage" />

<application
    android:icon="@drawable/ic_launcher"
    android:label="@string/app_name" >
    <uses-library android:name="android.test.runner" />
</application>

</manifest>

I used to get this error when I used System.exit(0) on my test Activity's onFinish like below:

@Override
    public void finish() {
        super.finish();
        System.exit(0);

    }

So check your Main activity's onFinish method.
